Hold on, what do you mean FSD Booster?!I noticed that my drive is engineered to Level 4, i should probably get it to Level 5?
Hold on, what do you mean FSD Booster?!

FSD V1 is a double engineered module. It means it's engineered with 2 different engineering to the max. It's impossible to do so on our own, the item is completely unique. And straight up better than ANYTHING you could make yourself.
Trying to "engineer" it yourself will remove the existing engineering and replacing with the one you pick, essentially downgrading it (from 2 engineering to just one). So, don't do it ? I'm not your mum, so it's just an advice
The only exception are for experimental engineering (the little bonus on top like "mass manager"), you can add one safely.
The FSD booster is a piece of alien tech (from the now extinct guardian race) which can boost your FSD range up to a flat 10ish ly. It comes in 5 size (from 1 to 5) and if you unlock them, you unlock them all for future purchase (at a station that sell them), unlike the FSD v1 which is a single "purchase" per trade.
So, say you can jump 10ly and put a size 5 fsd booster ? You can now jump 20ish ly !
If you do that to your double engineered FSD you will waste all the effort and expense involved in buying it as you will end up with a standard unit. The only thing you can successfully touch on that is the experimental effect, so you can add Mass Manager.
Do i need to unpin that blueprint then, i can't seem to access Experimential, its whited out...i'm on my way to Felicity Farseer to see if that removes the blueprint...unpinning doesnt seem to work...
You can only do experimentals at an engineers base, they have to do that blueprint but you only need to have unlocked grade 1 to access the experimental effect system.
You have Grade 4 access to Felicity that means that you can only engineer an ordinary FSD with her to G4 at the moment.
Time to start setting up the VR -If you want to explore, D class module are the best (lowest weight) besides for PP and FSD, and ofc weightless module (like the scoop).OK my ship build is complete, I'm set for exploring, I know I can do more to it, but I want to get out there and start discovering
Ship build for interest...https://s.orbis.zone/j9tq
You NEED one for exploration.That's where we disagree. You can synthesize life support refills. And it does make a difference whether one life support resynth will last you for 5 minutes or for 25 minutes. And 25 minutes is 25 jumps, that's 1250 ly. With a few refills, you have a good chance of reaching a DSSA carrier.D size life support. If your canopy breach, you are dead anyway. 1m or 10m will not be enough to reach a friendly port anyway. So there is that
.It may be worth considering replacing the "A" rated fuel scoop in the suggested build with a "B" rated instead. It costs considerably less, for a minor reduction in amount scooped, uses less power too... The same as losing the 4 heatsinks, I've never needed one, even when dropping in the middle of a binary pair, the ship gets warmed up, but that is nothing to be bothered much with. Keep one if you feel threatened, as a security blanket.Thanks Commanders, heading back to starport to make those changes! I did have a fuel scoop, but I like the look of Erei's build, so going to try some of those without the booster though as i want to get out exploring.
Oh, and VR was very cool, but a vomit comet! I'll stick with VR when racing...not spaceflight!

As Horse mentioned - there are carriers like the DSSA ones that you can sell to. Map of locations here https://edastro.com/galmap/?layer=regions&pins=DSSAcarriers
). Problem with this list is that there is no guarantee the FC is still there (though - in Horizons you can use the 'FC' filter in the galmap to confirm if someone is in the system), and you can also look at the 'updated at' to see when it was last reported to be there.
